Daniel Ortega's and Rosario Murillo's dictatorship, through the Office of the Attorney General, ordered the confiscation of the assets of the 222 political prisoners who were released from prison to the United States and banished from Nicaragua on February 9, 2023.
By means of a letter sent by Ronald René Rocha, the secretary of the First Managua Court of Appeals, Attorney General Wendy Carolina Morales was notified to comply with the provisions of that judiciary authority's resolution and to proceed to order "the immobilization and confiscation in favor of the State of Nicaragua of the assets in the public Property and Mercantile Registries of all those convicted."
In addition to their assets, the Managua appeals court resolution also establishes that "in their personal capacity or as legal entities, all shares and commercial companies held by the convicted persons are immobilized and confiscated in favor of the State of Nicaragua."
On February 9, in a span of less than 12 hours, the Ortega regime banished the political prisoners. They had been condemned with sentences ranging from eight to 13 years in prison, and had been considered de facto traitors to the homeland. Likewise, the regime stripped them of their nationality, through an arbitrary and "express" reform to the Political Constitution of Nicaragua approved by the representatives in the National Assembly who are loyal members of the regime's party and of small collaborationist political parties.
The First Managua Court of Appeals is presided over by the pro-Ortega justice Octavio Rothschuh Andino, sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his role as an operator of the dictatorship in the Judiciary branch. This judicial panel was the same one that issued the banishment resolution against the 222 political prisoners whom it accused of being "traitors to the homeland".
The appeals court resolution contains virtually the same elements as the "sentence" against the 94 Nicaraguans declared stateless who were stripped of their citizenship rights by the dictatorship on February 15, 2023. The "sentence" also ordered the confiscation of their assets.
In the case of the 94 Nicaraguans declared stateless, the dictatorship's courts also ordered "the immobilization and confiscation in favor of the State of Nicaragua of all real estate and companies, which the accused have registered in their favor, either personally, or as a legal entity, or companies in which they participate as partners, to answer for the crimes committed."
